[0095] Further, the compounds according to the present invention inhibit in vitro the autophosphorylation in a human KDR intracellular region caused by the stimulation of NIH3T3 cells, which stably develop human KDR, with VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) (Pharmacological Test Example 1). Binding of VEGF to KDR, a receptor for VEGF on a cell membrane, induces the activation of MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) or the like through the autophosphorylation of the KDR intracellular region with tyrosine kinase (Shibuya M, Ito N, Claesson-Welsh L., in Curr. Topics Microbiol Immunol., 237, 59-83 (1999); and Abedi, H. and Zachary, I., J. Biol. Chem., 272, 15442-15451 (1997)). The activation of MAPK is known to play an important role in the growth of vascular endothelial cells in angiogenesis (Merenmies, J. et al., Cell Growth & Differ., 83-10 (1997); and Ferrara, N. and Davis-Smyth, T., Endocr. Rev., 18, 4-25 (1997)). Therefore, the compounds according to the present invention have angiogenesis inhibitory activity.

[0096] Angiogenesis at pathologic sites is known to be deeply involved in diseases, such as tumor, diabetic retinopathy, chronic rheumatism, psoriasis, atherosclerosis, and Kaposi's sarcoma, and metastasis of solid tumors (Folkman, J. Nature Med. 1: 27-31 (1995); Bicknell, R., Harris, A. L. Curr. Opin. Oncol. 8: 60-65 (1996)). Therefore, the compounds according to the present invention can be used in the treatment of these diseases.

[0097] According to the present invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound according to the present invention.

[0102] In preparing the injections, if necessary, for example, buffers, pH adjustors, stabilizers, tonicity agents, and preservatives may be added.

[0103] The content of the compound according to the present invention in the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention may vary depending on the dosage form. In general, however, the content is 0.5 to 50% by weight, preferably 1 to 20% by weight, based on the whole composition.

[0104] The dose may be appropriately determined in consideration of, for example, the age, weight, sex, difference in diseases, and severity of the condition of individual patients, and the preparation may be administered, for example, in an amount of 0.01 to 100 mg/kg, preferably 0.1 to 50 mg/kg. This dose is administered once a day or divided doses of several times daily.

[0105] The compound according to the present invention may be administered in combination with other medicament(s). In this case, the compound according to the present invention may be administered simultaneously with or after or before the administration of other medicament(s). For example, when the subject disease is malignant tumor, the compound according to the present invention can act on target vascular endothelial cells to allow the tumor to regress, followed by the administration of an anti-cancer agent to effectively eliminate the tumor. The type, administration intervals and the like of the anti-cancer agent may be determined depending upon, for example, the type of cancer and the condition of patients. This treatment method can apply to diseases other than the malignant tumor.

Pharmacological Test Example 1 Measurement of Inhibitory Activity Against KDR Phosphorylation by ELISA

[0263] NIH 3T3 cells expressing human KDR (Sawano A et al., Cell Growth & Differentiation, 7, 213-221 (1996), “Flt-1 but not KDR/Flk-1 tyrosine kinase is a receptor for placenta growth factor, which is related to vascular endothelial growth factor”) prepared by transfection of human KDR gene were cultured in a DMEM containing 10% fetal calf serum (purchased from GIBCO BRL) within a 5% carbon dioxide incubator until 50 to 70% confluent. The harvested cells were inoculated into wells of a collagen-type one-coat 96-well flat-bottom plate, each containing the same medium, in an amount of 1.5×10⁴ per well, followed by cultivation at 37° C. overnight. The medium was then replaced by a DMEM medium containing 0.1% fetal calf serum. A solution of a test compound in dimethyl sulfoxide was added to each well, and the cultivation was continued at 37° C. for additional one hr. A human recombinant vascular endothelial growth factor (hereinafter abbreviated to “VEGF”) was added to a final concentration of 100 ng/ml, and the stimulation of cells was carried out at 37° C. for 2 min. The medium was removed, the cells were washed with phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4), and 50 μl of a solubilization buffer (20 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 0.2% Triton X-100, 10% glycerol, 5 mM sodium orthovanadylate, 5 mM disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, and 2 mM Na₄P₂O₇) was then added thereto. The mixture was shaken at 4° C. for 2 hr to prepare a cell extract.

[0264] Separately, phosphate buffered saline (50 μl, pH 7.4) containing 5 μg/ml of an anti-phospho-tyrosine antibody (PY20; purchased from Transduction Laboratories) was added to a microplate for ELISA (Maxisorp; purchased from NUNC), followed by standing at 4° C. overnight to form a solid phase on the wells. After washing of the plate, 300 μl of a blocking solution was added, followed by standing at room temperature for 2 hr to perform blocking. After washing, the whole quantity of the cell extract was transferred to the wells, and the plate was then allowed to stand at 4° C. overnight. After washing, an anti-KDR antibody (purchased from Santa Cruz) was allowed to react at room temperature for one hr, and, after washing, a peroxidase-labeled anti-rabbit Ig antibody (purchased from Amersham) was allowed to react at room temperature for one hr. After washing, a chromophoric substrate for peroxidase (purchased from Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd.) was added thereto to initiate a reaction. After a suitable level of color development, a reaction termination solution was added to stop the reaction, and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured with a microplate reader. The KDR phosphorylation activity for each well was determined by presuming the absorbance with the addition of VEGF and without the addition of the medicament to be 100% KDR phosphorylation activity and the absorbance without the addition of the medicament and VEGF to be 0% KDR phosphorylation activity. The concentration of the test compound was varied on several levels, the inhibition (%) of KDR phosphorylation was determined for each case, and the concentration of the test compound necessary for inhibiting 50% of KDR phosphorylation (IC₅₀) was calculated.
